Introduction:

This is a screencast of my presentation at ConFoo Montreal in 2017. I accidentally recorded my presenter screen rather than the audience view (as I usually do), so you get to see my speaker notes in this video. You lucky dog, you.

Resources:

There is a bibliography of articles, books, and research for this talk. It's located on Zotero:

Abstract:

'Programmer' and 'Manager' are two different titles for a reason: they're two different jobs and skill sets. If you have managerial aspirations (or have had them foisted upon you), come to this session to learn some of the tricks of the managerial trade.

This session will introduce you to many of the skills and resources you’ll need to become a successful tech manager (and keep your team from wanting to string you up).
